Prosthetics envy! But wait: there's a twist!
Rebellion 'gainst computer overlords!
Dilated space-time postpones lovers' trysts!
Sea-Honeymooners crushed out of their gourds!
Exotic fauna! Flying ranger chick!
Centaurs choose man-horse minds or horse-man bods!
Space junk removal becomes politics!
Mindblowing after-death trips: we are gods
(Or parts of one at least)! There's something for
Most any kind of sci-fi fan in here,
And ev'ry taste in art. Do I want more?
Not at the moment; glutted now, I fear,
Am I. But I'll say this: there are no duds.
I'd recommend to all of my buds.

Banana oil! Five stories in one book
All set in Robo's wacky world! My one
Complaint is that they're all too short, but look
One tale is Dr. Dinosaurs, more fun
Than I can here describe. It's fun to see
New illustrators, though I do miss Scott.
Amusing, too, to see one with Bruce Lee.
There's one as well which has no Robo plot,
"To Kill a Sparrow" -- spies in World War II
In Vichy France -- but there, of course, is room
For him to come in any time. Then you
Have one, uncolored, in which all goes boom
Aboard a wizard's rocket. But the best
By far is the velociraptor's jest.

ATOMIC ROBO: THE GHOST OF STATION X #1

ATOMIC ROBO: THE GHOST OF STATION X #1
Script by Brian Clevinger
Illustrated by Scott Wegna

If you're still griping that there's only one
Film of our hero Buckaroo Banzai,
You owe it to yourself to have some fun
Like watching our Atomic Robo fly
Up into space to save some astronauts
While on the ground his team works hard to find
A bit of Bletchley Park. Now one's first thoughts
Might be: this is disjointed. Free your mind.
Pulp logic is its own reward: your brain
Should be a toy as well as tool. What's more
Where else can robot genius explain
What's up with Apple? Insights by the score!
Well, one or two. Just read it. You'll be glad
That Clevinger and Wegna have gone mad.
